Alexandra Fuller has crafted another insightful non-fiction story of her life and her relationship with her husband. But her story is also one of her coming to grips with who she is at the level of her soul. She profoundly recalls additional events of her childhood as influencing the adult person she became and how they impacted her choice in a life partner. Her tenacity in the face of adversity is one of the things that endears her most to the reader. You feel as if she is in the room imparting the story of her marriage. Another thing that I love is that she does not bash her husband for things he did not do, but carefully explains how her expectations of the relationship could not meet his. There was much to learn from her story.
